Supervisory governors can interfere with the tool-using agents they regulate. We study this possibility in a controlled file-recovery environment where increases in regulatory intensity trigger experimentally imposed tool failures. A cost-blind governor can turn these failures into persistent blocking that prevents task completion. We compare this governor with a backoff rule that reduces intervention probability using a moving average of known induced events. On a hand-coded stochastic-policy agent, the failure pattern appears under both result replacement and execution of corrupted tool arguments. For the persistent policy, adaptive backoff improves completion relative to a fixed weak governor with approximately matched intervention frequency. A Gemini 2.5 Flash experiment comprising 576 episodes across 6 tasks also shows reduced blocking and improved completion under backoff; among the tested settings, intermediate backoff strength achieves the highest observed aggregate success. These results identify an interaction between intervention cost and persistent action blocking, together with a possible mitigation. The cost mechanisms are imposed and their induced events are directly observable to the backoff rule; applicability beyond this controlled environment remains an empirical question.
